A full-back from Stanley in County Durham who likes to get forward and models his game on Barcelona's Jordi Alba.

The former Tanfield School pupil and Beamish FC player has been with Newcastle since the age of 11. Towards the end of the 2013/14 season, he forced his way into Peter Beardsley's under-21 side and will hope to continue his progress in the campaign ahead.
